Question

Which one of these best describes an organic compound??

1. Carbohydrates

2. Water

3. carbon dioxide

I understand that an organic compound is any chemical compound that contains carbon bonded to at least one other atom (usually hydrogen)
And isn't true that carbon AND carbohydrates contain carbon?? Or am I getting this mixed up..this is pretty confusing. Also I'm doing this in biology, but we're getting a basic foundation of chemistry.
Thanks in advance, though!

Answer 1

i have been doing biology and to me it seems the answer is A.
my thoughts,

Answer 2

The best organic compound is
A. Carbohydrates

Carbon dioxide does contain carbon, but it's not an organic compound. Organic compounds, in general, can be broken down by the human body.
